\n\t\t\t\tFrom the summit of the 1262 m (4140 ft) high M\u00f8ysalen, you can see all the way from Sweden to the Atlantic Ocean, from Bod\u00f8 to Senja. Something this beautiful does not come for free: M\u00f8ysalen will demand a lot from you, but it will give even more back in return.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

At 1262 m (4140 ft) above sea level, the summit of M\u00f8ysalen on the island of Hinn\u00f8ya is the highest point in Vester\u00e5len, and Norway’s second highest island mountain. Visible from across most of the archipelago, it towers over Sortlandssundet and Raftsundet, flanked by M\u00f8yene, two column-shaped cliffs. The walk up the mountain is challenging, but it is not an extreme trip and offers views out across much of the Cap of the North. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the bottom it seems impossible to reach the top<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

M\u00f8ysalen is situated in the heart of M\u00f8ysalen National Park and organised walks start on Hennes, on the Hinn\u00f8y side of Hadsel in Vester\u00e5len. www.nordnorge.com was a little apprehensive before the trip, but the nerves quickly disappeared when our guide, who had 125 M\u00f8ysalen trips behind him, briefed us at the centre. The first part of the walk is a 30-minute boat trip across the Lonkanfjord, where M\u00f8ysalen towers above the other wild, jagged and dark summits, flanked by M\u00f8yen, the two adjacent jagged mountain towers. The mountain looks so steep that is hard to believe that it is possible to climb it.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
